Results:
Average step height = 1.95e-10, Standard deviation = 0.00e+00
Average step width = 1.36e-09, Standard deviation = 1.62e-09
Average miscut = 17.713°, Standard deviation = 11.870°
# with the provided height from literature
step_heights, step_widths, miscut = analyzer.calculate_substrate_properties(img_rot, size_rot, xz_angle=0, prominence=1e-10, width=1,
style='fit', fixed_height=3.91e-10/2, std_range=1, demo=False)
Step height = 1.95e-10 +- 2.58e-26
Step width = 8.41e-10 +- 5.97e-10
Miscut = 18.522° +- 10.322°
The “simple” method with provided step height gives a more accurate results for the step width and miscut:
Step height = 1.95e-10 +- 0.00e+00
Step width = 1.62e-07 +- 8.27e-08
Miscut = 0.090° +- 0.135°
